description: Find our reviews of the best magnesium supplements available in the UK, tried and tested
encoded: Magnesium is a key mineral in the body that plays an important role in a host of different functions, from regulating muscle contractions and blood pressure to helping with energy production and blood sugar balance. It even supports healthy sleep and mood. In foods, magnesium is found in nuts, seeds and leafy green veg. Most people will be able to increase their intake through diet, however you could also consider choosing to take a supplement to help support your levels. In our search for the best magnesium supplements, we consulted nutritionist Kerry Torres and tried a range of capsules, bath salts, body oils and drinks, including Prowise Advanced 4 in 1 Magnesium Complex and Inessa Calcium and Magnesium; both among our top picks for 2026. We tested them for potency and taste as well as evaluating the nutrient profile, number of additives and whether they're suitable for vegans, coeliacs and other dietary requirements. If you're looking for more information, read our guide to the best magnesium supplements for sleep.

description: Our team have put a range of omega 3 supplements to the test to help you find the right one to fit your routine
encoded: Omega 3 is a fatty acid that's classified as 'essential' because it is necessary for our bodies to function correctly. Although used in the membrane of every cell in the body, as well as being important for other functions, we cannot create or synthesise it – we need to get it from the food we eat. Good natural sources of omega 3 include oily fish like salmon, mackerel and sardines, as well as plant sources like flaxseed and chia seeds. If you're looking to supplement your omega 3 intake it can be hard to cut through the noise and find one that's effective and offers value for money. We've tried and tested a range of omega 3 supplements for criteria like sustainability, ease of use, quality, purity and dosage, like one of our favourites for 2026 is Seven Seas Omega-3 Max Strength with Vitamin D. Read on to find the best omega 3 supplement for you. Jump to: Best omega 3 supplement UK at a glance Best omega 3 supplement UK to buy 2026 Why we need omega 3? What are omega 3 fatty acids?

description: Find our reviews of the best glucosamine supplements available in the UK, tried and tested
encoded: Glucosamine is a naturally occurring sugar compound that is made by the body from glucose molecules and an amino acid called glutamine. Your body uses glucosamine to construct the building blocks of tendons, ligaments, cartilage and the fluid that cushions your joints. It is an important component of a structural compound called glycosaminoglycans, which helps keep your cartilage elastic, strong and flexible. We get very little glucosamine from our diets because there are not many foods that are good sources, and of those that are, they tend to be foods we don’t typically enjoy eating – an example being the shells from shellfish like prawns, crabs and lobster. It is not surprising, therefore, that many of us prefer to take glucosamine as a supplement. In our search for the best glucosamine supplements, we tried a range of capsules and tablets. We tested them for taste and flavour as well as evaluating the nutrient profile, number of additives and whether they're suitable for vegans, those with allergies and other dietary requirements.

End a meal of meze sharing plates with one of theses cakes, bakes or sweet treats and dream of bathing on a Mediterranean island. Mediterranean-style baking recipes Fragrant orange portokalopita This syrup-soaked cake from Edd Kimber is inspired by the sunshine flavours of Crete. Cannoli Create a batch of homemade cannoli for a sweet Italian treat for your next dinner party, served with a shot of espresso. Portuguese custard tarts Make classic Portuguese custard tarts Pastéis de Nata with step-by-step help from the test kitchen. Dusting the pastry with icing sugar gives the tarts a golden, caramelised crust when cooked. Loukoumades (Greek doughnuts) One of the pleasures of a Greek holiday comes in those moments after dark (and after dinner) when everyone moves to the tables in a local square to drink coffee and eat plates of tiny cinnamon-scented doughnuts. Whether your preference is for the sugar-dusted variety or those soaked in honey, try making them at home for a crowd-pleasing dessert with a difference. Check out more doughnut recipes here. Effortless madeleine 'baba' Cut corners with this cheat on a rum baba – it’s simple to make, and you can use whichever rum you like. Sicilian ricotta cake This impressive Sicilian ricotta cake will steal the show at dinner, with chunks of chocolate studded through creamy baked ricotta. It's deceptively easy to make, too. Baklava Try our version of baklava, drenched it in a salted honey sauce. This sweet and sticky filo pastry treat comes packed with four types of nut, cardamom and cinnamon. Italian lemon cake Amalfi lemons give a strong, intense lemony aroma in our Italian cake recipe, making a fitting summery cake which is a real crowd pleaser, too.

There’s a particular type of late-night panic most of us know well. You’re lying in the dark and something feels slightly off – an unfamiliar ache, a weird colour in the toilet bowl you can’t stop thinking about – and you find yourself down a search engine rabbit hole reading forum posts from 2009 written by people who are definitely not medical professionals. We are, by every measurable metric, a generation of health googlers. In the UK, the NHS website receives over 50 million visits every month. In the US, studies suggest that roughly 7% of all daily search engine queries are health-related; that's around 70,000 health queries a minute. What these queries share is a very human desire to understand our own bodies and find the answers to questions we are perhaps too embarrassed to ask our GP (you never should be). So, in the spirit of giving the internet what it wants, but with actual experts attached, here are the answers. Q. How can I fall asleep quickly? A. Roughly 1 in 5 adults in the UK don’t get enough sleep, with 79% of us struggling to switch off at bedtime according to Mental Health UK. “Most people get into bed and there’s a bit of ‘I need to fall asleep now’ pressure,” says Stephanie Romiszewski, a leading sleep physiologist and author of Think Less, Sleep More. “That’s when the sleep anxiety gremlins turn up, telling you that if you don’t go to slee…

Seek out the dishes that locals are the most passionate about and you’ll find yourself in the best restaurants, bakeries and neighbourhood institutions – many of which have lasted for generations. Whether you try a silky slice of Key lime pie in Florida or a comforting bowl of clam chowder in Boston, these are the US dishes worth travelling for. For more US inspiration, check out our guide to 8 US cities that offer spectacular value for money. New Haven: scorch your fingers on ‘ah-beetz’ New Haven may be famed as the home of Yale University – but for food lovers, it's the pizza that is more important. Or, more accurately, ‘ah-beetz’, as New Haven-style pizza is known. 'Apizza' is a direct descendant of thin-crusted Neapolitan-style pie, tapping into the background of the local Italian-American community. But what sets apizza apart is the three Cs: crust, char and coal. These thin-crust pizzas are cooked at high temperature in a coal-fired brick oven and when done right, have a blistered, blackened crust. In a classic apizza, adornment is minimal – in the original, not even mozzarella besmirched the flavourful tomato sauce. If you want it, ask for ‘mootz’ (mozzarella). Head for Wooster St where you’ll find the apizza originator Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, founded in 1925, and Sally’s Apizza, founded in 1938, on the same street. Apizza has won fans across the USA and across the Atlantic. You can try it in the UK at Gracey’s in St Albans and London. New Orleans: get stuck into gumbo Complex and richly flavoured, this hearty stew, which can incorporate just about any combination of meat, seafood and vegetables, is emblematic of the cooking of the American South – and New Orleans is gumbo’s spiritual home. Much like Mardi Gras, the dish encapsulates the diverse culture and culinary heritage of the region. The name is a matter of debate, deriving either from…

description: While probiotics are marketed for gut health support, it’s not always clear which are worth it – here our experts help you find the right one for you
encoded: Probiotics have become increasingly popular, but with so much technical language and different products on offer, it can be difficult to know where to start. You might even be taking probiotics wrong without realising. When administered in adequate amounts, the live micro-organisms contained in probiotics may provide health benefits such as aiding digestion, lowering blood pressure and improving cholesterol levels. The strength of probiotics is measured in colony-forming units (CFU) — the higher the number the more active microbes there are per dose. Supplements cannot replace a balanced diet, and eating a variety of plant foods with high levels of fibre and consuming fermented food and drinks will also help to support the number and variety of beneficial bacteria in your gut. Read on for our pick of the best probiotics on sale in the UK right now. For more information, our friends at Good Food have a detailed guide to what are probiotics.

The Cotswolds is all your chocolate-box fantasies rolled into one – honey-hued cottages, gardens brimming with hollyhocks huddled around duck-paddled ponds. The names are as pretty as the scenery: Moreton-in-Marsh, Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold. Even the local rare breeds (Gloucestershire Old Spots pigs) have a bonny ring. The Cotswolds is Cider with Rosie country: a bucolic idyll packaged for tourists who traipse here to mooch around antique shops and take afternoon tea. The Cotswolds is quintessentially quaint. It’s also unexpectedly vast. Count its counties: Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, plus corners of Wiltshire, Somerset, Warwickshire and Worcestershire. From north to south it’s a 100-mile schlep. Off-the-beaten-track is a concept the Cotswolds lost long ago, but its central belt – a lopsided oblong with Burford, Cheltenham, Stroud and Lechlade at the corners – does fly slightly below the radar. Check our our guide to the best restaurants in the Cotswolds for all the must visit places to eat and drink during your visit.

UK cabin holidays for food lovers Glebe House, East Devon – relaxing cabins in the woods Check rates and availability at glebehousedevon.co.uk Situated just off the south-west coastal path in East Devon, Glebe House is a quintessential rest stop to hang up your walking boots and retreat from the world. Slung within the rolling hills of the Coly Valley the hotel is comprised of seven bedrooms in the main house and two new cabins aptly named The Crow’s Nest due to the large rookery in the trees above them. Built using larch and cedar, the cabins’ exteriors are thoughtfully crafted to blend into the natural surroundings, while playful interiors juxtapose against the verdant greens of the woodland. There is a keen desire to showcase the best of local craftmanship with the cabins brimming with home-thrown ceramics, paintings and textiles sourced from Devonshire artists. Each cabin is adorned with an outdoor sunken bath encouraging guests to slip in and switch off through the sway of the woodland canopy. Guests can also book a private outdoor sauna to elevate relaxation even further. Much like the grounds, the on-site restaurant has an undeniable charm, awarded a Michelin Green Star through its thoughtful farm to table menu that head chef David Knapman has curated to reflect the seasons bounty. Sustainability shapes the culinary delights and the weekly menu is intuitively led by what is growing within the kitchen garden.

encoded: Collagen is a natural protein found in the body and plays a vital role in the health of skin, bones, muscles and connective tissue. Making sure your diet provides enough protein is key to supplying the amino acids your body needs to produce collagen. Adding a collagen supplement may also support skin health and elasticity, and could offer benefits for joint comfort and maintaining bone strength. As we get older, our bodies naturally produce less collagen, which is why some people turn to supplements. With so many options on the market, it can be tricky to know which type is best, and whether they’re worth the cost. We’ve tested collagen supplements for flavour and ingredient quality, so you can make an informed choice.

Just two of the more unusual ingredients on the menu in Uzès, one of those achingly pretty French towns whose Chocolat-style looks make it seem like a Hollywood film set. Indeed, its plane-tree-pricked Place aux Herbes once starred in the Gérard Depardieu movie Cyrano de Bergerac. Uzès is surrounded by truffle plantations and hosts a truffle festival every January, while confectionary giant Haribo opened Le Musée du Bonbon here in 1996. The company is synonymous with the gummy bears invented by German founder Hans Riegel in 1920. Your ticket comes with a bag of sweets to suck as you wander from room to room learning about the history of sugar and the candy-making process before ‘nosing’ some of the ingredients. Pressing a button releases a puff of vanilla, cacao or liquorice into the air. This less well-known corner of France is just 40 minutes from Avignon, where you can jump off the Eurostar as it hurtles on to Marseilles. Once here the pace is far more leisurely. Uzès has its share of sites to tick off including the cathedral of Saint Théodorit with its ornate Romanesque bell tower, the Fenestrelle, the Duke’s palace and the Medieval Garden in the grounds of a ruined château which has around 450 plants, many medicinal, and is a lovely spot to unwind with a liquorice tisane after clambering up the tower’s 100 steps for a sweeping panorama. Be sure to visit Uzès on a Wednesday or Saturday when you’ll find a food market in full swing. And don't miss a…

encoded: Peckham is home to an expanding roster of cool yet respected eateries, mostly located on the bustling Rye Lane. I've lived in south/south-east London for almost 10 years and Peckham is always the neighbourhood I head to for a casual yet exciting meal, either with friends or visiting family members. Hailed for its excellent breadth, you can find anything from quirky Vietnamese snacks to Parisian 'bistronomy' and London-style pizza. There truly is something to suit all tastes. Check out our favourite restaurants, bars and foodie spots in the SE area below, from French-style bistros to Persian meze and plant-based Indian street food. After, read about our favourite new restaurants in London or the best restaurants in Clerkenwell. Best places to eat and drink in Peckham Upstairs at Hausu, Station Way Hausu takes its vintage hi-fidelity sounds and mid-century aesthetic to its upstairs loft space, a sultry drinking destination and listening bar. As you ascend the stairs you enter the dimly lit space, unfolding into rich chocolate-cherry sheer voile and wool-draped curtains. Speakers have been mounted high in the upstairs corners, broadcasting an eclectic repertoire of jazz and post-punk records on vinyl. The concise cocktail list builds on the downstairs kitchen's predilection for worldly spins on classics. The salted iberiko tomato martini mixes vodka, dry vermouth and iberiko tomato water to make a fresh, umami-forward sip. Coconut daiquiri, with cachaça, coconut, lime and cardamom, is zippy while striking a balance of fruity-herbaceous. Make sure to order the luxurious buttered rum espresso martini (rum, salted butter, Kahlua, espresso) to round out the evening. Bar snacks are inspired by head chef Holly’s dedication to Italian influences and local produce, designed for sharing and late-night snacking. Glossy boquerones are dressed in lime leaf oil, plump Wright Brothers scallops are cooked over coals, pepped up with in-house XO sauce and topped with a tangle of sweet,…

description: The Japanese listening bar concept has landed in London. Expect hifi sound systems, stellar cocktails and sultry surrounds for soaking up the music
encoded: Looking for the best hifi bars in London? If you're partial to a carefully curated cocktail or two, you may have noticed the term 'listening bar' appearing on the London cocktail bar scene in the last couple of years. Think: intimate, low lighting, stylish, mid-century décor and most importantly, high-fidelity sound systems. Inspired by Japanese "kissaten" culture, which emerged in the post-war era, the experience of sound is placed firmly centre stage. Although while the music may be a key focus, food and drinks menus are by no means an afterthought, with high-quality, seasonal ingredients, global-inspired flavours and rotating chef takeovers. As an east London resident myself, you might call me biased but my favourite spots also happen to inhabit this side of the capital. For a cute and cosy date night destination, Chiave is a no-brainer, where you can continue the night and throw shapes on the luxe downstairs dance floor complete with bespoke sound system (trust me, it's nothing like the sweaty basements you may have frequented in the past). If you're looking for a more substantial meal, I would never fail to recommend Mad Cats's east Asian-inspired menu packed with punchy, umami-rich flavour. And that pandan crème brûlée, wow. Of course, the whole of London is blessed with a wealth of stellar options, so whatever your taste, peruse my list below and find something to suit you.

For more like this, check out our reviews of the best brunch in London, the best outdoor restaurants in London or the best London pubs for food lovers. Best places to eat steak in London Cooper's Cut at Four Seasons Hotel Tower Bridge Set inside the grand former Port of London Authority building, Cooper’s Cut takes its name from Sir Edwin Cooper, the British architect who designed the building in 1922. His work combined scale with detail and the restaurant follows his inspiration: majestic surroundings and cooking that is impressively precise. The centrepiece is Australian executive chef Luke Armstrong’s pride and joy: Japanese hokkaido A4 wagyu fillet. The steak arrives with a golden crust and a deeply succulent interior that all but dissolves as you eat. A quenelle of Kristal caviar and a Pomerol sauce push the classic surf and turf idea somewhere more polished. The wagyu is the star of a succinct, refined lunch that works as a guided tour of what the restaurant does best. We began with an amuse-bouche of Belted Galloway beef tartare and smoked scallop, followed by heritage beetroot with dijon mustard, crème fraîche and merlot vinegar: a bright plate that set the tone. Next came chargrilled Scottish langoustines with saffron and citrus beurre blanc, sweet and lightly smoky from the grill. Dessert was a neat finish: granny smith apple tarte tatin with crème fraîche ice cream. There are plenty of other steaks on the main menu – Angus côte de boeuf and blue grey chateaubriand from the Lake District among them – but the wagyu is the dish that made our eyelashes flutter. cooperscutlondon.com instagram.com/cooperscut Meet Bros, Shoreditch Meet Bros stands out as a fully ha…

Best new London restaurant openings 2026 Meet Bros, Shoreditch Most steakhouses serve wine. Meet Bros doesn't, and that's the point. This Malaysian-British collaboration between Palace Butcher Resources and the Serai Group is fully halal-certified and entirely alcohol-free, and it wears both facts as a badge of identity rather than a footnote. The Shoreditch site, neighbouring Legado and Singburi, is the second, following Paddington, and the menu pulls premium beef into a punchy partnershjp with Southeast Asian flavour. We started with pulled duck pancakes – hoisin and crispy chilli oil slicked and loaded with spring onion and cucumber; then sweet spicy chicken wings with Thai danok, the sauce worth knowing about. It's a nam jim style condiment: tamarind for body and sourness, palm sugar, chilli and fish sauce hitting salty and spicy in turn. On grilled meat, it's banging. Mains were a shared wagyu striploin and BBQ lamb ribs. The wagyu (sourced from Australia, where it isn’t fed beer, in keeping with the halal commitment) comes with the option of house Asian marinade or straight salt and pepper. It is an astonishing piece of beef (and, to be fair, a price to match): deeply marbled, a cut that makes you sigh and swoon, flooding your mouth with beefy unctuousness. Lamb ribs are a great compa…

This Malaysian-British collaboration, neighbouring Legado and Singburi, brings premium Australian wagyu and BBQ lamb ribs to the fore, each dish amplified by punchy Southeast Asian flavours. The wagyu, marbled and deeply savoury, is offered with either a house Asian marinade or classic salt and pepper; both are exceptional, with the Thai danok sauce — a vibrant, nam jim-style mix of tamarind, palm sugar, chilli and fish sauce — cutting through the richness beautifully. Pulled duck pancakes, sweet-spicy chicken wings, grilled broccolini and Asian slaw round out the offering, each dish layered and lively. Though there’s no alcohol, the drinks menu dazzles: the cooling lychee mojito and herbal-sweet Passionita mocktail easily hold their own. For those seeking standout halal dining in Shoreditch, Meet Bros delivers on both flavour and atmosphere — don’t miss the Thai danok with your steak for an extra hit of brightness. meetbros.co.uk Hoppers, Shoreditch High Street – for Sri Lankan and South Indian dishes Ten years after the Soho original, Hoppers has its fourth London site at the Tea Building in Shoreditch — and this one acts as a bridge between Sri Lanka and South India, bringing Bangalore, Madurai and Kochi into the mix alongside Colombo and Jaffna.

A women's health expert shares the information you wish your doctors would

description: Here are the insider tips that will change your gynae and sexual health care
encoded: I’ve been working in the women’s health field for 30 years and it still shocks me that only around 2% of UK public research funding, and between 1-6% in the US, goes to support a better understanding of women’s gynaecological health and childbirth. We are half of the world’s population after all. Evidence also suggests women’s pain is taken less seriously, takes longer to diagnose and is more likely to be under-treated than pain in men. As a journalist who struggled to get a PCOS diagnosis or information, I began researching and sharing my own findings. Since then I’ve authored books, spoken at support groups and spent 30 years advocating with PCOS charity Verity. I now focus on women’s health for national organisations and health-tech start-ups. And I’m obsessed with sharing properly useful tips. Here are a few of them… Schedule your mammogram just after your period Appointment reminders rarely mention how to reduce pain – despite research and feedback saying women want that help[v]. There are things you can do. Book in just after your period if you can. Hormonal changes affect how swollen and sensitive your breast tissue is. Let your mammographer know you find it painful and ask them to compress slowly so you can say if it hurts. This kind of control helps reduce pain. Avoid caffeine for at least a day, if not a week before. It can create breast tenderness. Talk about your vagina, vulva and clitoris Forget ‘down there’, ‘bikini area’ or ‘private parts’. Using the biological names gives your doctor specific information to help them diagnose and treat you faster – because there are so many different conditions, for example… Vulvodynia – ongoing burning or soreness of the vulva without an obvious infection or skin condition Lichen sclerosus – a skin condition linked to auto-immunity Vaginismus – involuntary muscle tightening that makes penetration (medical exams, tampons or sex) painful Clitorodynia – clitoris pain, often from injury or infection GSM (genito-urinary …

encoded: Find out more about safe foraging and how best to forage in towns and cities. Check out our elderflower recipes and find out more about samphire. Who says health foods have to be expensive? Many UK public spaces hold little-noticed multitudes of edible plants, from hedgerow berries and woodland leaves to seaweeds, samphire and dandelions. Many of these are packed with nutrients and make better eating than much supermarket fruit and veg. “You can swap in foraged foods for the foods you already know and love,” says Good Food’s Barney Desmazery, resident foraging expert. “Treat wild garlic leaves like you would spinach leaves, or treat the stalks like you would chives. If you swap like for like, the possibilities are endless.” A rainbow of edible plant species grow wild in the UK and each one has a unique nutritional profile. We spoke to seasoned foragers and a registered nutritionist to learn how to use nine of the healthiest foraged foods in your cooking – and what these plants can do for your health. How to forage safely and considerately Tips from Good Food’s Barney Desmazery: Be very careful about what you pick. Some common plants, such as hemlock, look like edible plants but are actually deadly (hemlock has similar-looking leaves to parsley or wild celery). Don’t forage on private land unless you have the landowner’s permission. Certain parks and other places can appear to be public but may actually be private. Avoid over-picking scarce or endangered edible plants. For instance, primroses are delicious little flowers but they’re becoming scarce. Be conscious of seasonality. Some plants are edible only at certain times of year, such as nettles, which can cause kidney problems (for some people) when they’re not in season. Nine healthy foods you can forage Wild garlic When to pick: late February to early May Where to find: damp, shaded woodland What it can be good for: blood pressure, antioxidant How to use it: pastries, pesto, in place of spinach Commonly carpeting…
